Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
Divides by n and shifts left under exponential transform.
E.g.f.: 2*x - LambertW(-x*exp(2*x)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Mar 09 2003
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (binomial(n, k)*2^k*(n-k)^(n-1)).
a(n) ~ sqrt(1+LambertW(2*exp(-1))) * (2*exp(-1)/LambertW(2*exp(-1)))^n * n^(n-1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 05 2013
